“We have put in place robust mechanisms and digital technologies to checkmate any attempt to rig or manipulate the electoral process. The era when results were written in back rooms is over. This generation of Nigerians, this generation of Obidients, will not allow the old order of electoral malpractice to thrive again.

“We are not just participating; we are prepared, coordinated, and resolute. Our young people, women, professionals, and volunteers are mobilized and trained to monitor every step of the process, from accreditation to vote counting and result transmission.

“Let it be known that the Obidient Movement in Anambra is united, disciplined, and focused. There is no division, no faction, and no confusion. We stand together under one vision, the vision of a New Nigeria that begins from our polling units.”

The future is watching.And we, the Obidients are ready .A new Anambra is possible, and together, we will make it happen.” He stated. (Saturday Sun)
